Road trips can be quite psychedelic wild and adventurous, but more often for those affected and least for those in the suburbs. The same can be said for mescaline fueled romp Chilean Sebastian Silva , Crystal Fairy , a film that by all accounts , it seems that it was fun to do, but for those of us sober in the theater, it fails to fascinate despite some ambitious explorations .

Silva, who left their mark at Sundance in 2009 with the award-winning movie The Maid , returned to Park City this year with two films starring Michael Cera (the other is Magic Magic ) . Both are around the party now, and both are completely different films. Crystal Fairy, Cera plays Jamie , an American abroad for a trip of self-discovery in Chile, where he seems to want desperately to experience Hunter S. Thompson. Joined by fellow case of two navigate to find some cocaine and women , marking the first and stumbling over later in the form of an extravagant way hippy chick named Crystal fairy, played exceptionally by Gaby Hoffman . Stoned and deceived , Jamie invites crystal absently in a beach trip to buy and ingest mescaline . When she takes on offer, Jamie and his crew are dealing with a free-spirited woman who tests the thin Jamie patience.

The gap is most apparent when a conversation about the deepest fears sincere reveals concerns about mortality , uncertainty and bad intentions of others in Champa , Lel and Pilo, while Jamie observed that sharks are his greatest fear . Crystal fairy, after calling Jamie shallow to suggest his greatest fear is sharks, rants of people do not realize their freedom , which of course is just a bunch of hippie bullshit prescribed he came across a book on chakras.

This scene , and the consumption of hallucinogenic cactus disappointing , highlights the inherent lag in these characters. Jamie and Crystal Fairy are obviously on some sort of mission to identify and assume an identity outside of itself, without realizing that their biggest problem is the inability to refrain open image attitudes . They are so quick to assume the signifiers of an identity they perceive as ideal without really look inside and realize that people are the same no matter where they go in the world.
